Creative Kids’ Club Kits by Georgianne Holland

Author: Georgianne Holland

I have been a professional fiber artist, using wool needlefelting and applied techniques to create handmade home decor items in my Colorado studio. Since 2010, my passion for other fine craft mediums emerged! My Nestle and Soar Studio is home to Art Glass, Mosaic Art, and Ceramics. I love connecting with others who love all art and fine crafts! I sell these through my shop on Etsy. I also run the Creative Kids' Club. We’re on a mission to inspire creativity through monthly arts and crafts kits, where members can purchase a single kit or a series of 3 monthly kits mailed to homes in the US.

Georgianne launched a kids’ club in 2025 aimed at creating art activities that can be done with a child and adult.  Creating art and letting one’s imagination flow is so important as it slows life down to a place of intention and focus.  Georgianne shares her project here.  Please share it with any creative adults you know who could benefit from the kits.   -Rachel Biel

What inspired you to design and produce the Creative Kids’ Club Kits?

I’m Georgianne Holland, founder of Nestle and Soar Studio in Colorado. My mosaic and fused-glass art practice gives me a strong eye for design and quality materials. I created the Creative Kids’ Club because I noticed grandparents and parents wanting meaningful time with kids—not just another toy. I often hear about the struggle of limiting screen time with young kids, and I’ve felt that with my own grandchildren. My own studio work taught me how tactile materials foster confidence. Making things by hand is a life skill that baby boomers want to make sure is passed down and enjoyed! I’ve translated that generational goal into ready-to-go kits.

How would you describe your target audience exactly (ages, caregiver role, motivations) and what need are you uniquely filling in that space?

Our kits are designed for children ages 3-10 and the loving adult beside them—grandparent, parent, babysitter. The need: simple, high-quality art + build projects that create memories and result in something they can keep. Many kits on the market speak to ‘kid alone’ or ‘just STEM’—we speak to adult + child together with a large dose of nostalgia + help for adults who think they have no artistic talent.

What are your core values and brand story—especially around craftsmanship, nostalgia, and inter-generational connection—and how would Artizan Made By Hand support or amplify that story?

At our core we believe in craftsmanship, connection, and nostalgia. We build kits that reflect the kinds of hands-on projects many adults remember from the 1960s-80s (woodwork, felt, nature mobiles) while updating for today’s caregiver. A partner like Artizan would help amplify that story to their artisan community. I am always open to co-branded promotions, storytelling around memory-making, and maybe shared limited editions. I also watch the Artizan community for ideas about international opportunities. I haven’t yet begun imagining my kits on that larger scale!

How do you ensure your kits are high-quality yet accessible to non-artists and busy caregivers (grandparents, parents, babysitters)?

I spend extra time sourcing materials that are high quality (non-toxic, easy tools) and designing instructions with photos, a QR video, and step-by-step clarity. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or a grandparent who last used glue and glitter decades ago, the kit is intuitive and confidence-building. I strongly believe that children are innately artistic. When kids are freely in the zone of creativity, it sparks their loving adults to try new things and remember their own innocent impulse to making things by hand.

I’m including here the label art I attach to the inside lid of each kit:

How would you describe the production & logistics part of your enterprise?

We operate out of our Colorado studio halfway between Denver and Boulder. We maintain a ready kit inventory of our core products. I typically spend 6-8 weeks from concept to fulfillment (allowing for branding and kit testing). We ship from Colorado to the US; we’ve fulfilled both subscription and one-off orders. We take pride in the unboxing experience our clients and their kids enjoy! I’ve made a little video of how we pack a kit to make that unboxing experience extra fun:

I have new kits in the design stage now and am excited by the upcoming that includes the new book written by actor and carpenter Nick Offerman. His book, Little Woodchucks, is a great example of multi-generational creativity!

I hope you like this concept and that you will share it with your friends.  Share your ideas and feedback in the comments below!
